[John Burger, ASERL (jburger]

ASERL Friends:



Welcome back – and happy 2026!  I hope everyone had a restful winter holiday 
break.  We had a warm start to the new year here in ATL -- until this morning.  
January is back.



BEFORE THE WEEKLY RUNDOWN OF ONLINE ACTIVITIES:  Let’s Talk Side Hustles. 
Elaina has received many requests to share stories about creative outlets and 
income boosters. Are you a secret novelist? An illustrator? A weekend dog 
walker? If you have a side gig, we want to feature you. Reply to this email and 
let us know what you’re up to!



Below are the upcoming webinars / online community events we have on the docket 
for the next several weeks, with more in development.  As always, these 
sessions are open at no cost to all ASERL members and generally to guests as 
well – you may see a few that are listed as “ASERL only.”  Also, most are 
recorded and made available under a Creative Commons 
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License via our Archive 
page (www.aserl.org/archive<http://www.aserl.org/archive>).  The complete list 
of upcoming events is also available on our website at
